PACKER TO BUILD
FREIGHT SUBWAY
JOfiDEN ARMOUR, the Chicago

construct tubes under the Hudson and
Bast rivers from New Jersey to Long

from a point near the Battery to Har
lem with collateral tubes. The tubes
will be only fifty-four inches in diam
eter, and the tiny freight cars will be

MRS. PANKHURST
GIVEN WELCOME
BY SUFFRAGISTS
ENGLISH CRUSADER ARRIVES
AT NEW YORK
COMES TO AID STRUGGLE FOR
WOMEN'S FRANCHISE
Tells Story of Her Imprisonment at
London and Declares Confl.
dence in Triumph of
Cause
rT<y Asvoclated Prosa. 1
Tyj BW YORK, Oct. 20.—A quiet little
l\ group of New York women,
-^-' bearing banners labeled "Vot i
for Women," stood on the White Star
line pier tonight and welcomed to
America Mrs. Emmellne Gould Pank
hurst, leader of the militant suffra
gettes of Croat Britain,
In accordance with the rulings of the,
customs authorities, less than twenty
persona were admitted on the dock,
and the reception to the woman who I
has served two terms of Imprisonment
for her activity in the cause was de
\ "Id of clamor.
She was hurried to the sufCraga
headquarters at 602 Fifth avenue.
.Mrs. Pankhurst is slight of stature
and has a wealth of brown hair that is
just turning gray. She looked a typi
cal Englishwoman and was dressed
becomingly in a gown of dark ma
terial.
"I am coming to America," she said,
"to speak on the subject of equal
rights fnr women nnd to study the sit
uation in this country. I think we are
away ahead of you in this matter."
Displays Medallion
As she talked Mrs. Pankhurst dis
played a little medallion whicli she
wore and explained that it was a dis
tinguishing mark worn by those Eng
lish women who have been imprisoned
for the cause.
"I suffered solitary confinement,"
she continued, "and had only one hour
of exercise out of twenty-four. During
the other twenty-three hours I was
confined In a little cell eight by ten
feet. I had cell No. 47 on the second
floor of Holloway prison and I wore
the regular prison garb, but I did not
brjng the costume to New York
with me.
. "The movement is progressing satis
factorily In England," she went on.
"We have pledges from practically
two-thirds of the members of parlia
ment to vote for us af> soon as a bill
is prepared by the government. And
we expect sooner or later to compel tho
government to Introduce the bill. Just
when this will come to pass I am not
prepared to say."
Mrs. Pankhurst stoutly defended mili
tant tactics.
Favors Violence
"All great movements have been
worked out by violence," she said.
"The American people secured their
' liberty by violence, so why not rush
the house of commons to obtain what
we regard as our rights? The ballot
granted to women will make them moro
Intelligent, less self-centered and on the
whole much better citizens."
"Don't you think that there would be
corrupt women politicians and women
ward heelers?" Mrs. Pankurst was
asked.
"Well," she replied, "I don't think it
could make politics any worse at any
rate."
Mrs. Pankhurst said she had been a
suffragette as long as she could remem-
I ber. She had gone to meetings in favor
!of the. emancipation of women when
I she was only 14 years old, accompanied
by her mother, who herself was an
ardent advocate of the cause.
Mrs. Pankhurst will remain in the
United States until November 22, but
will not be able to get as far west as
Colorado, where woman suffrage pre
vails. She will speak In Boston Friday,
and Worcester, Mass., Saturday, re
turning to New York Sunday for a re
ception by the national and New York
state associations.

VICTIM OF THUGS
While Returning from Los Angeles,
Proprietor of Garage Is Attacked
by Two Men in Little
Suburb
D. D. Wiggins, a prominent citizen

The daring robbery was committed

per trees, and it was in the shadow of
these trees the assault and robbery
took place.
The victim had gone to visit a
neighboring preacher and was on tho
way back to his home, when two men
appeared directly in front of him. As
WigKlna approached the men sepa
d so that their victim would have
to pass between them.
"Good evening," said one of the men,
and before Wiggins could reply he waa
felled by a blow from the other man,
the blow being delivered as he truned
his head to respond to the greeting.
That is -ill Wiggins remembers, and
two hours later he was found wander
ing aimlessly about in the yard of a
neighbor. A passerby was attracted
by the peculiar wanderings of The
dazed man, and when he spoke to him,
received an incoherent reply.
Pockets Inside Out
The man also notired that a piece of
a watch chain was dangling from Wig
gins' vest and that his pockets were
turned inside out, and he quickly real
ized that a holdup had taken place.

[By Associated Prtss. 1
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 20.—Henry Bei
ton, a blacksmith, shot ana killed his

afterward committed suicide.
The couple had not lived happily to
gether of late and Mrs. Beiton had

WOMAN'S PLACE
IN HOME SAYS
MISS EVA BOOTH
SALVATION ARMY LEADER SEES
FAULT OF SUFFRAGETTES
"ENGLISH METHODS REPREHEN.
SIBLE," SHE DECLARES
"They Have Lost Sigh* of the Main
Issue and Gone Off at Tan
gent," Is the Real
Verdict
COMMANDER EVA BOOTH, "Lit
tle Mother of the Poor," third
daughter of the founder of the
Salvation Army, arrived in Los An
geles last night with her party, which
consists of Mrs. Brigadier Stanyn of
New York, a noted worker among the
poor and at present slum secretary o£
the Salvation Army; Major Richard
Griffith of New York, Commissioner
Thomas Estill of Chicago, Colonel
George French of Chicago and Colonel
Charles Miles, provincial officer of
San Francisco. Commander Booth Is
a guest of the management of tho
Hotel Alexandria. She will speak three
times Sunday in Temple auditorium.
The hours for her addresses are 11 a.
m., 3 p. m. and 8 p. m.
As Commander liooth sat in her
room at the Alexandria last night,
tired after her long journey, she was
not much inclined to be interviewed,
but what she said was worth listening
to. The first question put to her was
on equal suffrage and this is the way
she answered it:
"I'm a Salvationist, not a politician.
The SaH'ation Army is not and never
has or will be in politics. It is an
international movement for salvation
of souls. Save the man and politics
will be clean.
"The woman who pays taxes and
on the same plane with a man sir
be allowed to vote, I believe, but i
will make her masculine in any way 1
would not be in favor of equal suf
frage.
Main Issue Forgotten
"In England the women have g
to extremes. Some of their meth
are almost reprehensible. They h:
lost sight of the main issue and h
gone on! on a tangent which will li
them to their own undoing.
"The place for woman is ..he h<>
Woman may take man's place In
office or in any walk of life, but n
can never take the place of woman
the home. In the army we give worn.
the opportunities of development
every possible way, but we do not
developing her take from her an:
hef womanliness. If politics leads
the destruction or harming in I
slightest degree of woman's functi
in life, I say let women keep out
politics.
"Motherhood is the greatest th
in the world. It is in the home t
man li made. If the mother is ta
from her home by politics it nr
the downfall of the nation, no ma
what rights at the polls may, be given
to women.
"I love Los Angeles, for it Is a garden
spot and the people here have madn
me do my work better. This is my
third visit here and if It is as pleasant
as were my previous ones I shall feel
happy and fully repaid for coming."
Filled with Enthusiasm
Commander Booth is a mediumly tall
woman and slightly thin. She wore a
long military overcoat last night, and,
with her close cropped hair, which
falls around her face like a halo,
looked exactly the part in life she Is,
commander of a great army of re
ligious workers. She haa a personal-
I ity full of magnetism and when she
speaks she carries conviction with her
every word, for she is filled with sin
cerity and enthusiasm. As she spoke
of the work of the army, especially of
her own work among the slums of
London, where she gained her enviable
title of "Little Mother of the Poor,"
she leaned forward slightly In her
chair, her hands tightly clasped, and
; she seemed to be living again the days
when she walked among: the wretched
of England's metropolis, garbed In
patched and torn dresses, selling
flowers and water cress that she
: might come more intimately in touch
I With her work and with her subjects.
Her addresses Sunday undoubtedly
J will be to packed houses, for thou
■ sands have been turned away wher
| ever she has appeared. From here
she vt" go to San Franolsco and Oak
land. Her trip Is one of Inspection
and of information gathering.
Since her early childhood Miss Booth
has been identified with slum work and
is probably the most famous doer of
good among the bedraggled poor that
the world has ever known. She Is de
clared to be one of the most magnetic
speakers to ever appear before an audi-
ence. In a recent lecture In the Greek
theater In Berkeley 16,000 people were
present. Governors of almost every
state In the Union have honored her.
At Ocean Grove, where she lectured
less than two weeks ago, two congre
gations, aggregating 26.000 people and
Including a delegation of 500 ministers,
were attentive listeners.
Won Respect of All
Of Miss Booth's work among the
poor, It Is said that her unfailing tact,
her ceaseless efforts and her open,
heartedness and self-sacrifice have not
only won for her the respect of the
people among whom she works, but also
their undying love. It is related that
two years ago while the young wom
an lay dangerously ill, a young tough,
whom she had saved from a life of
crime, hearing of her Illness, sold his
vest that he might buy a few pieces
of fruit for her.
In executive ability there are few
women who equal Miss Booth. At an
early ace she was In charge of the Brit
ish college wherein Salvation Army
officers are educated for the work of
saving souls. At the same time sh
was in charge of the London province,
which was made ud of more than 20,
--000 Salvation Army workers.
Miss Booth later became comman
der of the Salvation Army forces In
Canada, where she made an enviable
record.
The title of her lecture here is "Won
derful." The stage effects for her lec
tures are good, and she will be sup
ported in her appearance by forty
staff and field officers.
